AI Summary
This bill provides regulations for the adoption of local ordinances for the creation of accessory dwelling units (ADUs), which are separate residential units on the same property as a primary dwelling. It requires local governments to permit the creation of at least one ADU per lot, provides standards for ADUs, and prohibits certain restrictions on ADU development. The bill also includes the ADU in the definition of "housing accommodation" under the state's human rights law, preventing discrimination in renting ADUs. Additionally, the bill establishes a state program to assist low- and moderate-income homeowners in financing the creation of ADUs and provides tenant protections for ADU occupants.
